Answer 2

Htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

And in your applications/config/config.php

$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.yourwebsite.com'; //url to your project
$config['index_page'] = ''; //Needs to be empty

The project root-directory .htaccess file replace with below contains.

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteBase /your-project-directory-name/ 
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|resources|robots.txt) 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
